London #6 | Master of photography Diane Arbus

This autumn, 
the American photographer is displayed in both London and Paris.

Diane Arbus, even though controversial at her time, is very well known for her
black-and-white 
photographs of deviant and marginal people or of people 
whose normality seems ugly or surreal. Her talent was 
to picture them 
the way they look, unpretentious.

To do:
  - Visit the artist rooms collection at the Tate Modern, London, til 06 Nov. 
  - Visit the first major retrospective in France, at the Jeu de Paume, Paris, til 05 February 2012.  
    
Self portrait, pregnant. NYC 1945.
